| (4.5)| Hello PandaPaws Licensed VetTech  :  I have the honor of reviewing your writing for "Simply Positive Review Forum " and as part of your auction package for the Blog City Fair.Please remember I am a writer, who, like yourself, is also reviewed by her peers; therefore, I know what it feels like! I have only my humble opinion to offer; please take what you feel is helpful and disregard the rest. Only YOU know what is right for your writing!  TITLE The title is excellent and fits the poem perfectly. Excellent title!   SPELLING, GRAMMAR, & PUNCTUATION Regarding spelling, grammar, and punctuation, I could find no errors. Great job!  POETRY FORM, RHYME, & RHYTHMThis poem is written in the form of a villanelle and as such, it is consistent throughout the entire poem . Very good!  CHOICE OF WORDS/READABILITY Choice of words is excellent and makes for good readability. When I read the poem out loud, which is the way I like to read poetry because then I can hear the words easier, I did not stumble or falter. Sometimes when I read poetry it is confusing, but I could understand your poem easy because it was not clouded in obscurity. Very nicely done.  FAVORITE PARTS I enjoyed the entire poem, but let me tell you about some of my favorite parts: *stargray* When a door closes a window opens, or so the optimist is sure to say. A pessimist hears this and only grins. - I CHOSE THIS ENTIRE FIRST VERSE BECAUSE IT SETS UP YOUR POEM PERFECTLY. IT TELLS US WHAT YOUR POEM IS GOING TO BE ABOUT AND I REALLY LIKED THE SUBJECT OF YOUR POEM. GREAT JOB! *stargray* and as the door goes slamming shut we pray - JUST THIS ONE LINE DOES SO MUCH FOR YOUR POEM; IT IS SUCH A STRONG STATEMENT, THE SLAMMING OF THE DOOR, THE PRAYER - WOW - GREAT JOB! *stargray* The optimist and pessimist are twins, we can't keep them separate, try as we may. - I CHOSE THESE LINE BECAUSE IT IS SO TRUE AND IT'S GREAT THAT YOU MANAGED TO SEE THIS THAT OPTIMISM AND PESSIMISM ARE TWO SIDES TO THE SAME COIN. VERY GOOD.  OVERALL RATING/FINAL THOUGHTS I give this poem an overall rating of   for its originality, creativity, and the ability to give hope in a world that is sometimes hopeless. The saying: "When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window," is one of my favorite sayings of all time and I love the fact that you wrote a poem around it. I wish I had thought of it!  I think you've done an excellent job with it - the idea that there's always hope, there's always a way. You managed to keep within the villanelle form very nicely and overall, the poem has a nice feel to it. Great job! You keep writing and I'll keep reading! Please continue to share with our community. Thank you for allowing me to review your work. I consider it an honor and a privilege! Have a  lovely  day! My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Go Noticed" .Cindy  ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **  My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
